Playing a record with an angled pickup

Sometimes the cutter was twisted when the record was made, which put the two sides of the groove out of step with each other. The playback stylus also needs to be rotated so as to pick up the two groove walls in their correct relationship. (This only applies when using en elliptical playback stylus)
